[If she had tried to push him back any further, reject him anymore, then he would have let her go. Just let her go and that's it. He'll be through, no longer wanting to deal with her games. It may not have been how she wanted it, and he may not have gone about it the right way, but he had tried many times to bring her over.
...
But it's also true that he probably didn't try hard enough, letting the hurt and her choice to leave him be it. Let his personal relationships and wants be pushed aside to focus on something else. Or maybe he just used it all as an excuse, fucking hell if he knows anymore. Whenever he's with Benedikta, it's as if everything gets tossed into disarray.
So when she does end up fighting back in the way to try and gain control instead, he pushes back just as hard, teeth biting and tongue pushing against hers as his grip on her changes into less of a restraint and more of just keeping her in place.]
